1. A method of assisting operation of a vehicle, the method comprising:
automatically determining a current operational context of the vehicle;
analyzing a transcription of an audio communication with respect to the vehicle to identify an operational term pertaining to the current operational context of the vehicle within the transcription;
creating an indicator identifying the operational term within the transcription for emphasis when the operational term pertains to the current operational context of the vehicle;
identifying a user-configured playback rate;
selecting a first subset of one or more audio samples for reconstructing audio for the operational term having a reduced playback rate;
selecting a second subset of one or more audio samples for reconstructing audio for a remainder of the transcription having the user-configured playback rate; and
generating an audio reproduction of the transcription of the audio communication using the first subset of one or more audio samples having the reduced playback rate and the second subset of one or more audio samples having the user-configured playback rate, wherein the operational term is selectively emphasized within the audio reproduction based on the indicator by selectively varying the user-configured playback rate.
